00:00Quick fire.
00:02Apart from here, where is your favourite Glasgow restaurant?
00:06Can I say Oxenfinch?
00:08I'll go Oxenfinch, yeah.
00:10Why?
00:12It's where, you know, one of the first restaurants I worked in Glasgow.
00:14Well, I worked there and then moved over from here.
00:16So, yeah, it's just got a very kind of special place in my heart.
00:20It's kind of where I learnt the most as a chef.
00:22And I think the food has always, it's just gotten better and better over the ten years.
00:26What is your favourite Oxenfinch?
00:28Good question.
00:30Very just kind of, I mean, it's not really got an identity to it.
00:33It's, you know, kind of takes influence from all kind of parts of the world.
00:36So, I mean, the head chef over there is French.
00:38So you've got a lot of French influence, Italian, sometimes Middle Eastern.
00:40It's not really got any boundaries or limits on it.
00:44It's probably the best way to describe it.
00:46Glasgow pub.
00:48Love the Thornwoods.
00:50I think it always does good cocktails.
00:52Down Southside, Alison Arms.
00:54I think it's always good fun.
00:57Where would you go for a coffee?
01:011841 Upstairs.
01:03I think that's what it's called.
01:06Favourite Glasgow building?
01:12I mean, this one's pretty good, to be honest with you.
01:14The old garage, that's good.
01:16But, God, apart from that, the Gallery of Modern Art.
01:22Lovely building as well.
01:24What's your favourite Glasgow neighbourhood?
01:27Southside, Shorlands.
01:30Who are your favourite Glasgow band?
01:35I'm trying to think if I know any.
01:38I have no idea. That's bad, isn't it?
01:40I'm trying to think of a local band.
01:42Any, like, Martin?
01:44I don't know. I love Travis. Are they from Glasgow?
01:46Yeah, yeah.
01:47Yeah, love Travis.
01:49Favourite outdoor space or park?
01:52I'll go Queen's Park.
01:55And who is your Glasgow hero?
01:59I'll go Billy Connolly.
02:01Why not? Everyone's probably said it, hasn't they?
02:03But, I mean, yeah, it has to be.
